Infantry Discussion Thread, Pattern 7: Sword Edition.

dont get baited into saying something actionable

then we'll have even less people to counter the ensuing swordtide

Chances are I'll probably get banned for racism against elves or something even sillier.

That said, I have more art that isn't swords on the way.

Quick, post quality, non-kitbashed firearms, ordinance and unit layouts that actually have a purpose for your nations.

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuppppp, gonna need a new pair of trousers now, these are just ruined.

My horse isn't high. You're just sitting on the floor.

Holy shit, that ego.

Of course you'd interpret it as that.

I'm on a normal horse. Most people here are on normal horses.

You just complimented yourself using an alt you used to TG me insisting that Eisarn isn't an alt. You're sitting on the floor, where all horses look high.

Is that an SKS for ants.

No, this is an sks for ants:

Ant bazooka:

I think the bazooka should be 106mm instead of 76mm

I really should learn how to make things like this.... But that involves work... And I'm already working on the Organization of my Army.... So I has two questions...

1.)Anyone got a quick tutorial on how to do those?^^

2.)Best Organization for my Army? Regarding Infantry Divisions etc.

No real tutorials to be honest, just pick your favourite drawing program (MS Paint works well, or you could use Paint.NET, GIMP or Flash/Illustrator if you felt a little fancier) and away you go.

As for organisation, you'll have to give a little info first. How big is your nation, and by extension, your army? Your tech level? Your nation's terrain and climate? An early-20th-century desert nation will likely have a different doctrine than a PMT Arctic nation, for example.

This may be a useful starting template, as may this depending on the "flavour" of your nation.

Thanks, I use Pain.NET for mostly everything so thanks!

Mostly MT, though it varies to PMT in some areas, Terrain varies from Desert to Jungle, my military is equivalent in size to the US Army, uses Equipment of a blend of German, Russian, and Scandinavian Equipment.

At least he doesn't post the same sword ad infinium.

SKS is fine.

SKS I've shot are all crap.
If someone has a nice one I'd love to give it a second chance, but....
I've shot 2, and one jammed constantly and the other fired two bullets every 2 out of ten times I pulled the trigger.

Both of mine are nothing but excellent.

Sounds like you were using some Tapco abortions to me or whoever owned them assumed Soviet Firearm = No Maintenance.

I guess so.

On a note I brought up earlier, bird's head grip for shotgun effects the gun how?

Helps directs recoil through the wrist rather than against the wrist. Also helps with OAL, but that is not what you're asking about, I imagine. I'm assuming this is for a breaching shotgun?

IC, yes.
IRL, well, I might actually buy a pistol-grip mossy 500 now.

Outside of breaching shotguns (which are AOWs as defined by the NFA), pistol-grip-only shotguns are immensely stupid and a bad idea.

I got my Mossberg 500 with a pistol grip (it was the only 8 shot at the store that day) and instantly ordered a full stock for it. It is just a million times more comfortable to shoot/practical for use.

I was thinking it'd be better than a full stocked shotgun for home defence, but pistol grip 12 gauge seemed really painful so I just go with Five-seveN on the bedside table.

[Eisarn-Ara]

Samefagging accusations by a narcissist aside, I'm gonna try and make a couple nutty variants of that gas-delayed blowback bit of fun I'm calling a combat rifle.

In order, a paratrooper carbine + integrated grenade spigot (drums, three per para-/k/ommando) with an overfolding stock of sorts; a total horrific failure of an automatic rifle concept're what-have-you and some sorta marksmans' carbine (Vampyr Rig included, for reasons). Oh, and maybe some sorta' batty bullpup-thingy.

Much fun will be had indeed.

i would make that under the bedside table unless you are an extremely lite sleeper. you might end up waking to find someone lifted you pistol and got away or worse, get shot with it. I use to sleep with my 9mm under the pillow in the good old days when i had one

under the pillow only really works if you sleep alone

you can always get a nifty bed holster between the frame and headboard

Sadly, I am an extremely light sleeper.

Yeah my wife put an end to that, after which i put it on a small shelf in the nightstand. if i had a -private- license i would probably get some sort of rig for it, but unfortunately i live in country that has an undeclared war on private guns so.

Just use a "midlength" AR-15 with a 16" barrel and hollow points or ballistic tips, preferably in the 55-62gr. range. It will penetrate less than typical handguns rounds and shotgun buckshot, but will be more controllable than a handgun, hold thirty rounds (or whatever size mag you want to use), and can more easily have a flashlight and red dot installed.

inb4 but muh one-handed manipulations

Practice. Opening doors while holding an AR isn't hard whatsoever. They're light enough that you can keep it shouldered with one-hand for a decent amount of time, too, if you're corralling children.

That said, to make this on-topic, while Spreewerke does not use AR-series rifles in its military, they are available in the civilian side of firearms use. The most common models have midlength gas systems which reduce felt recoil, reduce wear on parts, and increase the length of the handguards so you're not stuck with the retardedly short carbine handguards.

svg is a quadrillion times less cumbersome than raster when doing these things actually

it was almost fun

unfortunately vector art is worse for anything else ime

e: notably the computer does all alignment, grouping, spacing, and lets me edit text any time i want

it almost made itself!
